Popping sound...

Did someone finally know about the popping sound coming from the front, looks to me to be near the struts?

Probably wheel bearing. Does it happen when you turn the wheel? Mine does the same thing. Someone said to roll the car in neutral and if there is a rattling sound it's the bearing. If not the strut is blown...

You need to replace or regrease your strut bearings. The sound your hearing is the spring binding because that bearing isn't allowing the assembly to turn freely.

Mine does the same when I'm at a light, and then acclerate from it slightly, I get a popping sound, sort of like something is not being able to move freely, makes sense now, leave it up to our own Suspension guru. I should have known though.
